▼ This thesis examines the representations of women’s happiness, well-being or life satisfaction in the Hollywood film Julie & Julia. It utilizes the method of textual analysis to explore common messages and themes within the text that express dominant cultural ideologies. It also examines historical and or social issues in an attempt to better understand the “why” behind the “how” of the representations of women’s well-being. A goal of this thesis is to provide evidence that supports the perspective that popular films are cultural artifacts that help generate meaning and shape societal norms specific to women’s happiness and well-being. Findings indicate women’s happiness and well-being is relatively stable and reflects the extent to which a woman experiences positive affect and has favorable views of her personal, professional, financial and social welfare.

▼ This dissertation analyses the discursive trope of
cannibalism as a recurrent mode of representation of New World
indigenous peoples in early modern travel accounts and other
documents related to the first stages of the exploration and
colonization of the Americas (1493-97). Firstly, drawing on the
original documents of the Columbian enterprise, I discuss the
indebtedness of the discourse around New World cannibalism to
pre-existent classical and medieval literary traditions on monsters
and man-eaters, as well as its adaptation to the contingencies of
the Columbian expedition. I mostly take into account problems
inherent to the practices of ethnographic observation and
description, as well as questions of authorship and readership of
the texts. Secondly, I analyze the corpus of literary materials
that were quickly produced and circulated throughout Europe as news
of the New World spread, mostly within the Italian diplomatic and
mercantile milieu. Special attention is given to the ways in which
mediated interpretations and erudite re-workings of first-hand
reports, in conjunction with the demands of the public, further
contributed to the creation and consolidation of a stereotyped
European discourse around the cannibalistic practices of New World
populations.

In this thesis, I provide an analysis of the representation within the environmental
movement that is based in critical theory. In considering the paradox which involves the
awareness of an ecological crisis as well as a strong resistance to the creation of
meaningful policy, I seek to root this problem in the representation of nature. This type of
representation is constrained by a virtual account that is based upon constitutive identity
and thus is sensitive to contextual perceptions of the discourse and depiction of the
concept of nature. My aim is to give a critical analysis of the environmental movement as
well as to explore the use of critical theory and contemporary art to enhance the approach
of virtual representation in order to challenge traditional notions of natural beauty that
can provide misleading accounts of the relationship between humanity and nature.

▼ Communication scholars and media professionals recognize that young people are not paying attention to the news. There is little doubt that the often negative stories about young people shown on television news and in mainstream newspapers can lead young people to think negatively of their selves, possibly causing them to tune out these news sources. Is news coverage of adolescents really overwhelmingly negative, as the literature suggests? Much of the research into teen news representations has focused on mainstream media, including broadcast news programs and newspapers. This study utilized a textual analytic approach and Foucault’s theory of representation to examine teen representations in three media sources: network news, adult-generated media sources geared toward teenagers, and teen-produced webzines. The study found that teenagers are represented as having problems, and as having limited ability to solve their problems. While teen representations found in this study do offer some support for the dominant discourses about teen media representations, they challenge some of the assumptions inherent in this dominant discourse. The most prominent challenges come from those media sources that are produced by teenagers for a teen audience.

▼ This dissertation incorporates time into base geographic data, including boundary, elevation and land use/land cover. It first examines the characteristics of time in base geographic data. Although changes can be discrete, stepwise or continuous, all are simplified as discrete. Currently, there are two major spatial representations, objects and fields, but there is not an existing temporal approach that is suitable for both. Since space is represented differently in existing geographic information systems (GIS) and there are similarities between space and time, this dissertation argues time should be represented in different approaches too. Parallel to the object-field dichotomy, this dissertation introduces a feature-based temporal model for objects and suggests the layer-based approach for fields. The layer-based approach can be further classified into current-state-with-changes (CSC) and sequential snapshots. In the feature-based temporal model, a feature can have multiple temporal spaces and themes. All are functions of time, and can be simplified as constants during time intervals when changes are treated as discrete. This makes it possible to model a feature's history with several time intervals and corresponding states. In the CSC approach, discrete change in fields is modeled using the current state and a series of spatio-temporal changes. The sequential snapshots approach is recommended for fields where space is frequently fragmented through time. However, there is no strict distinction between CSC and sequential snapshots. The feature-based temporal model can be implemented in an object-relational (OR) database, which supports abstract data types. In an OR feature table, a record can model a temporal feature. Based on common spatial and temporal reference systems, a prototype temporal GIS is developed to integrate different temporal approaches. The temporal system is developed from scratch because existing GIS limits the advantages of the OR schema. The prototype temporal GIS not only integrates the three temporal approaches, but also can work with other models. In conclusion, this dissertation makes a step in moving traditional static GIS towards temporal GIS, and contributes to geographic representations in three of the nine research objectives identified by University Consortium for Geographic Information Science.

▼ This thesis examines the representation of science and scientists in two popular Hollywood films of the same title - The Nutty Professor. One version was released in 1963, starring Jerry Lewis, and the other was released in 1996, with Eddie Murphy. This study is a textual analysis with an emphasis on the “how” of representation within the two films, which serve as cultural artifacts of their respective time periods. In an attempt to gain a more in-depth understanding of the chosen representations of science and scientists in both films, I also study the historical context of the periods surrounding the production and release of each film. One goal of this thesis is to note any changes or similarities in the representation of science and scientists between the two films, which were produced and released more than thirty years apart.

▼ The goal of this dissertation is to determine how to create more equal public policy outcomes within the realm of public education. It is a well known fact that despite the passage of legal decisions such as Brown (1954) and federal policies like No Child Left Behind (2001), Latino and African American students still perform at lower rates than Anglo students. This poor academic performance results in lower graduation rates, lower college attendance, and a lower socioeconomic status than Anglos.
This dissertation therefore sought to determine if two common bureaucratic theories, representative bureaucracy and personnel stability, could be used in combination with one another in order to improve the educational policy outcomes for African American and Latino students. Using data from Texas school districts from 1994-2010 and a cross-sectional longitudinal research design, I find that while each theory on its own improved the outcomes for these groups, the two did not have a significant combined effect on every indicator. Instead I find evidence of a substitution effect which allows one strategy to be used in place of the other in order to improve the academic performance of minority students. This creates a unique situation as this analysis suggests that there are other bureaucratic factors working to prevent an interactive effect from occurring on a consistent basis. Thus the next steps are to apply the same theories to other public organizations in order to determine if my findings are unique to public education and to determine if other public administration theories can be used to improve the outcomes for African American and Latino students.

▼ We study the representation theory of the solution space of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with time-dependent potentials that possess sl₂-symmetry. We give explicit local intertwining maps to multiplier representations and show that the study of the solution space for potentials of the form V (t, x) = g₂(t)x²+g₁(t)x+g₀ (t) reduces to the study of the potential free case. We also show that the study of the time-dependent potentials of the form V (t, x) = λx⁻² + g₂(t)x² + g₀(t) reduces to the study of the potential V (t, x) = λx⁻². Therefore, we study the representation theory associated to solutions of the Schrödinger equation with this potential only. The subspace of solutions for which the action globalizes is constructed via nonstandard induction outside the semisimple category.

▼ In 1970, John W. Gardner founded Common Cause, the first national government reform lobby. Common Cause lobbyists—and the organization— soon earned a reputation for integrity and influence among Members of Congress and the American public. For almost thirty years, Common Cause operated according to action principles set forth by early leaders (or Gardner’s Rules). Yet, by the mid-1990s organizational survival was in question.
Existential crises increased pressure on the organization to amend Gardner’s Rules. A tipping point was reached when top positions were filled by leaders relatively new to Common Cause. Their reorganization plans introduced significant changes to the group’s operations and culture.
New leaders amended long-held action principles. For example, the Common Cause Education Fund (a 501c3 arm enabling tax-deductible contributions but limiting lobbying activities) was added as a means to gain foundation grants. State office campaigns received more attention and resources. Grassroots mobilization became a primary advocacy strategy instead of filling a supporting role for professionalized lobbying.
In addition, financial considerations forced leaders to sacrifice descriptive representation processes. Leaders increasingly took on trustee-like roles, selecting and promoting issues that citizens chose to support. Yet, the ubiquity of internet activism suggests at some level leaders must listen to their supporters. Thus, a case study of Common Cause is a means to explore dual representation, or how an elite leadership represents the “what before the who.”
Historical analysis of Common Cause from 1991 to 2017 contributes a longitudinal perspective of organizational maintenance and advocacy dynamics through evolving contexts. When combined with prior case studies by Andrew S. McFarland (1984) and Lawrence S. Rothenberg (1992), this project creates a sequence of analytical research about one interest group spanning over forty-five years, a unique contribution to the field. Moreover, it provides a lens for studying how key aspects of the U.S. political system—interest groups, collective action, lobbying, and representation—work as the environment changes.

▼ Let G be a finite group and F a field. The group
algebra FG decomposes as a direct sum of two-sided ideals, called
the blocks of FG. In this thesis the structure of the centre of a
block for various groups is investigated. Studying these
subalgebras yields information about the relationship between two
block algebras and, in certain cases, forms a vital tool in
establishing the non-existence of an important equivalence in the
context of modular representation theory. In particular, the focus
lies on determining the Loewy structure for the centre of a block,
which so far has not been studied in detail but is fundamental in
gaining a better understanding of the block itself.For finite
groups G with non-abelian, trivial intersection Sylow p-subgroups,
the analysis of the Loewy structure of the centre of a block allows
us to deduce that a stable equivalence of Morita type does not
induce an algebra isomorphism between the centre of the principal
block of G and its Sylow normaliser. This was already known for the
Suzuki groups; the techniques will be generalised to extend the
result to cover the Ree groups of type 2G2(q).In addition, the
three sporadic simple groups with the trivial intersection
property, M11, McL and J4, together with some small projective
special unitary groups are studied with respect to showing the
non-existence of an isomorphism between the centre of the principal
block and the centre of its Brauer correspondent.Finally, the Loewy
structure of centres of various principal blocks are calculated. In
particular, some small sporadic simple groups and groups with
normal, elementary abelian Sylow p-subgroups are considered. For
the latter, some specific formulae for the Loewy length are
derived, which generalises recent results on groups with cyclic
Sylow p-subgroups.

▼Representation is a multi-faceted process that is integral to the Canadian democratic system. The process of representation relies on continuous negotiation between the elected representative and their constituents. It is through this process of building and maintaining connections with constituents that politicians develop their own representational strategy. This thesis examines two case studies—Manitoba MLAs Ralph Eichler and Blaine Pederson—to consider how Manitoba MLAs represent their constituents. A participant observation methodology was used to familiarize the researcher with the representational practices of these case study MLAs. It was found that even though the two MLAs were descriptively similar, the approaches they employed to represent their constituents were significantly different. It was further found that these vast differences were mainly attributed to three influential factors: personal goals, constituency context, and formative experiences.

▼ The purpose of this work is to explore the gendered cultural meanings surrounding female soldier representations found in official print and online military recruiting materials during Global War on Terror (GWOT) period (2001-2014). Using recruitment advertisements found in three popular women’s magazines and on the official Instagram accounts of the U.S. military, three research questions are addressed: 1) What visual and/or textual codes found in female soldier representations are used to construct gendered cultural meanings around women in the military?; 2) How do print and online recruiting materials encourage audiences to co-construct, produce, and distribute these gendered cultural meanings?; and 3) What is the significance of these gendered cultural meanings and audience interactivity/participation in female soldier representations during the GWOT era? A visual analysis of the data was performed using critical media guidelines provided by Luke & Iyer (2011) and Kellner (2015, 2013). The findings of this study suggest that there continue to be underlying, embedded notions of essentialized femininity found in contemporary representations of female soldiers. These findings and military recruiting materials are discussed in relation to broader public discourse around female soldiers and civilian women in society, particularly within important cultural moments of rising fourth-wave feminism and changing patterns of media consumption. In addition, a discussion around the growing need to conceptualize and study audiences as hybridized producers/consumers and as active interpreters of media messages in the digital age is provided. In doing so, this work seeks to understand and recognize the incredible power mass media (particularly social media) audiences have in constructing popular representations of all women. Finally, important implications related to the overwhelming lack of critical gender, media, and military studies in American school-contexts, key sites for military recruiters, are discussed.

▼ The study examines how the U.S. print news media discursively represented the civil war that raged from 1983-2005 between southern Sudan and the central government in the north over the tenures of three successive war-time Sudanese administrations. The study was situated within the broader theoretical umbrella of cultural studies. However, the theory of representation and postcolonial theory served as the principal theoretical frames for the study.
Employing critical discourse analysis, with framing as a strategy, the study focused on five U.S. print news media outlets (three national newspapers and two national newsmagazines): The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report. News articles published on the subject in the selected print news media outlets over the entire stretch of the civil war were collected and analyzed.
The analysis revealed that the narratives of the selected print news media discursively constructed an ethno/racial-religious frame as a colonizing frame in talking about the southern Sudanese civil war. With respect to the portrayal of the warring parties (southern forces and three war-time Sudanese administrations), a shift of narratives was observed over the entire civil war period. While the ethno/racial-religious discursive angle remained the same throughout the civil war period, the news narratives' portrayal of the warring parties oscillated depending on the nature of Washington's policy toward Khartoum's regimes.
It was argued that the news discourse of the civil war focused exclusively on the ethno/racial-religious dimension in explaining the locus of the southern Sudanese civil war, and in so doing, excluded the role of colonial legacy, which could have shared the same discursive terrain, as an important explanatory factor for the southern Sudanese predicament. This colonial legacy, among other things, encompasses the institution of the north-south divide, the emergence of a sectarian political structure, and the contribution of the Condominium in the Sudanese national identity crisis.
The study outlines the implications of such representations and portrayals and articulates some of the loci of the U.S. news media's analytical impoverishment with respect to reporting events on the African continent. Finally, the study makes some suggestions as to what the U.S. news media might do to improve the way they cover crises on the continent.

▼ The dissertation, "Twenty-First Century Black Mayors,
Non-majority Black cities, and the Representation of Black
Interests," examines under what conditions do Black mayors of
non-majority Black cities actively pursue policies and programs
designed to improve the quality of life of Black residents. This
question is derived from two premises. First, as a racial minority
that has long been politically and economically marginalized,
Blacks historically have experienced disproportionate disparities
in housing, education, income, and other socio-economic indicators.
Hence, the election of a Black mayor is viewed by Blacks as an
opportunity to see city government work in their interest and to
address these disparities. As a result, African-Americans embrace
the election of one of their own with high expectations. The second
premise is based on population trends. Demographic changes in many
American cities are steadily reversing the population dynamics that
brought about the election of this nation's first African-American
mayors. The 2000 U.S. Census indicates that major cities are losing
Black population, while gaining Latinos and Whites. Some of these
cities, Washington D.C., for example, have been staples of Black
mayoral governance for decades. However, should this trend
continue, ambitious Black politicians will increasingly find
themselves running for the mayor's office in cities that are not
majority African American. This dissertation examines if and how
Black mayors of non-majority Black cities actively pursue policies
and programs relevant to Black interests. The dissertation tests
that proposition in two medium-sized Ohio cities with unique
government structures where Blacks do not constitute a majority:
Toledo and Dayton. Utilizing eighty-three semi-structured
interviews, content analysis of city council minutes, mayoral
speeches and newspaper articles, and GIS analysis of election
results, the findings inform how the Black mayors actively pursued
polices and programs designed to improve Black quality of life by
universalizing the interests of Blacks as interests that matter to
all constituents. The mayor's personality and business
relationships, the city's government structure, and the racial and
ideological make-up of council are found to be significant
conditions.

▼ We begin by investigating the class field tower
problem for Kummer extensions of cyclotomic fields. For a prime l,
we construct an infinite class of cyclic degree l extensions of the
field of lth roots unity that have infinite class field tower and
are only ramified at l and two additional primes. As an
application, we consider the case l=3 and construct an S_3
extension of the rationals with infinite class field tower that is
only ramified at 3 primes, giving an example of a "small" field
with infinite class field tower. Motivated by the class field tower
problem, we next study the behavior of the root discriminant in a
solvable number field extension. In particular, we use class field
theory to show that for any fixed number field K, there are only
finitely many extensions of K of a given solvable length and
bounded root discriminant. This theorem should be viewed in light
of the fact that all fields in a class field tower have the same
root discriminant. In the next part of the thesis, we analyze the
possibilities for the fields cut out by a solvable
three-dimensional representation of the absolute Galois group of
the rationals that is ramified at a single finite prime. In doing
so, we give bounds for the number of such representations with
given Artin conductor. This work is motivated by similar results in
the case of two-dimensional Galois representations, where
Langlands-type techniques are available. We then continue our study
of Galois representations in the context of torsion points on
abelian varieties over number fields. We prove several facts about
the image of the representation of Galois acting on the l-torsion
points of an abelian variety subject to certain constraints.
Lastly, we study a variant of Noether's problem in Galois theory.
Building on work of Lenstra, we give an upper bound for the degree
of irrationality of the fields whose rationality is the question of
Noether's problem.

▼ In its annual report, "How Are We Doing?", British Columbia's Ministry of Education assesses Aboriginal students' participation and graduation rates, both of which have been consistently below those of non-Aboriginal students. In addressing the question, "How are we doing?", this thesis examines the visual images and representations of Aboriginal peoples in British Columbia's secondary Social Studies textbooks as well as the Aboriginal programs offered in the Surrey School District. The implications affect both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students as the study hopes to encourage and improve cross-cultural responsiveness between and among them and to promote public discourse in the education for and of Aboriginal peoples.
Negative portrayals and representations of Aboriginal peoples were common in textbooks of the past as documented by various studies. In reviewing the Surrey School District's currently recommended Social Studies textbooks, four main concerns continue to exist and persist: Aboriginal peoples continue to be marginalized, essentialized, seen as a problem, and decontextualized. However, one of the ministry's approved courses, BC First Nations Studies 12, attempts to address these inequities. Its recommended textbook is based on Aboriginal knowledge and epistemology, empowering and giving voice to Aboriginal peoples.
Through the interviews of eight educators who assist Aboriginal students in the Surrey School District, this study offers some of their insights to improve student "success". Aboriginal students need to accept and embrace their identity, not only to build their self-esteem but also to honour their own cultures. Educators need to redefine "success" beyond academic achievement to include Aboriginal knowledge and epistemology within their teaching and evaluating practices and become more cognizant of and sensitive to the challenges and triumphs of their students, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal. Universities need to re-address the training of future educators to include Aboriginal issues in order for them to gain greater historical understanding and, in turn, empathy and compassion. These practical initiatives reflect the progress and movement in addressing the challenges and hopes of Aboriginal peoples in their journey toward real self-determination and decolonization.

▼ The subject of this thesis is the interplay between the geometry and the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras at t = 0. Exploiting this relationship, we use representation theoretic techniques to classify all complex re ection groups for which the geometric space associated to a rational Cherednik algebra, the generalized Calogero-Moser space, is singular. Applying results of Ginzburg-Kaledin and Namikawa, this classification allows us to deduce a (nearly complete) classification of those symplectic reflection groups for which there exist crepant resolutions of the corresponding symplectic quotient singularity. Then we explore a particular way of relating the representation theory and geometry of a rational Cherednik algebra associated to a group W to the representation theory and geometry of a rational Cherednik algebra associated to a parabolic subgroup of W. The key result that makes this construction possible is a recent result of Bezrukavnikov and Etingof on completions of rational Cherednik algebras. This leads to the definition of cuspidal representations and we show that it is possible to reduce the problem of studying all the simple modules of the rational Cherednik algebra to the study of these nitely many cuspidal modules. We also look at how the Etingof-Ginzburg sheaf on the generalized Calogero-Moser space can be "factored" in terms of parabolic subgroups when it is restricted to particular subvarieties. In particular, we are able to confirm a conjecture of Etingof and Ginzburg on "factorizations" of the Etingof-Ginzburg sheaf. Finally, we use Clifford theoretic techniques to show that it is possible to deduce the Calogero-Moser partition of the irreducible representations of the complex reflection groups G(m; d; n) from the corresponding partition for G(m; 1; n). This confirms, in the case W = G(m; d; n), a conjecture of Gordon and Martino relating the Calogero-Moser partition to Rouquier families for the corresponding cyclotomic Hecke algebra.

▼ Historically, there have been two ways of perceiving space that have been considered opposed to one another and that have significant implications for the way in which architecture is understood. The first is real space, which relates to the direct, sensory and embodied perceptions of architecture as built. This space generates the symbolic meanings
of architecture and is understood as our primary way of understanding space. The Second is the analytical, measured space of representation - the drawings and models architects make, which have historically been called the instrumental as they are instruments
in the description of architecture. This work challenges that these are independent
and oppositional ways of understanding space. I argue that this perceived separation
perpetuates the notion of the instrumental and symbolic meanings of architecture to be held in a dichotomous relationship.
The aim of this research is to reorient the instrumental and symbolic meanings of architecture
toward a reciprocal relationship by examining their presence within both real and representational space. The research first explores the distinct characteristics of real and representational space that have perpetuated the notion they are distinct entities. Once these characteristics are identified, two central case studies explore ways in which they are translated through real and representational space in order to engender a more meaningful reciprocity. Referencing Michael Webb’s Temple Island (1966 - ongoing) and Guarino Guarini’s Santissima Sindone in Turin (1667-1694) as revealing examples, this thesis argues that the qualities of real and representational space are constantly permeating
the assumed boundaries of each other, and that consequently, an architectural space exists between them. Indeed, this thesis aims to examine the existence of a metaphorical interval between a physical building, and its representation in drawings and modeling.
This research proposes that pure instrumentality is an illusion, maintaining its legitimacy
through a self-imposed autonomy. The research concludes in a design project that suggests a more complex form of inhabiting architecture may challenge the gap between real and representational space, and by extension the separation of the instrumental and symbolic meanings of architecture. It sets out to achieve this through an allegorical investigation
exploring a more complex way to occupy architecture - where both real space and the space of representation can be occupied simultaneously. The design research seeks to dissolve the distinctions between how architecture is designed and represented, and how it is understood experientially as built. The thesis concludes that by collapsing the sensory, embodied complexities of real space, with the abstract, analytical characteristics
of representational space, the instrumental and symbolic meanings of architecture can be understood in a reciprocal relationship, where one gives structure and meaning to the other.

▼ Recent research on embodied cognition points to a role for the perceptuomotor
system in conceptual representation. One way that the perceptuomotor system may be
involved in conceptual representation is through metaphorical mappings, as described
in Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999). This theory accounts for
the embodiment of abstract concepts with metaphoric mappings to perceptuomotor
properties. Examples include INTELLIGENCE IS LIGHT (as in “that is a bright
idea”), IMPORTANT IS BIG (as in “that is a big deal”), and INTIMACY IS
CLOSENESS (as in “you are close to my heart”). The GOOD IS UP (as in “things are
looking up”) conceptual metaphor is the focus of this thesis. A prediction derived
from Conceptual Metaphor Theory is that activation of the concept of “good” should
automatically activate associated perceptuomotor processes, resulting in an attentional
shift to upper visual space. Conversely activation of the concept “bad” should result in
an attentional shift to lower visual space. There is experimental evidence for the
existence of the GOOD IS UP conceptual metaphor. However, this past research has
only assessed the validity of the GOOD IS UP conceptual metaphor with written
emotion-related words. In order to paint an accurate picture of the nature of
conceptual representation, both written and spoken language processing must be
investigated.
The aim of this thesis was to determine whether the conceptual metaphor
GOOD IS UP is activated by processing of spoken emotional words. Spoken language
has two channels through which emotion can be conveyed; the semantic channel and
the prosodic channel. This thesis assessed whether the GOOD IS UP conceptual
metaphor was activated by emotional semantics and prosody separately. Semantically
or prosodically valenced words were presented to participants. Positive and negative
valence would be expected to elicit activation of the GOOD IS UP conceptual
metaphor; thus GOOD IS UP congruent shifts in attention were expected. Following
presentation of the spoken word, a visual target detection and identification task was
completed to assess attention to upper and lower space. No metaphor congruent shifts
in attention were observed, which suggests that the GOOD IS UP conceptual
metaphor was not activated when words with semantic or prosodic emotion were
processed. A thorough evaluation is provided of the differences between the previous
studies, using written stimuli, and the current studies, using spoken stimuli. The
discrepancies suggest that it is theoretically important to define the boundary conditions under which evidence for conceptual metaphor congruent activation is (and
is not) seen. Whether context is an important boundary condition especially needs to
be considered. A multiple systems view of representation may need to be applied to
Conceptual Metaphor Theory.

▼ When monkeys learn a list of arbitrary items they acquire a representation of those items in sequence (e.g., A > B > C > D > E) and knowledge of each item’s ordinal position (e.g., A1st, B2nd, C3rd, D4th, and E5th). In contrast, when pigeons learn a list they show no evidence of having formed a representation or of acquiring knowledge of each item’s ordinal position. This difference between monkeys and pigeons is heralded as one of the few examples in the comparative literature of a qualitative difference between species.
Across nine experiments we show that pigeons are able to form a representation of list items in sequence and that they acquire knowledge of each item’s ordinal position. Why did our pigeons demonstrate faculties previous studies have suggested are beyond their ability? The answer is simple: Previous studies did not take into account the critical role that contextual variables play in the performance of pigeons on tasks that are used to test their representational abilities. By devising appropriate tests that address the contextual variables, we show that pigeons can indeed acquire a representation of a list of items in sequence, as well as knowledge of each item’s ordinal position. These findings now add to the evidence in support of Macphail’s (1985) Null Hypothesis.

▼ This thesis is a study in Representation Theory and Geometry. These two branches of mathematics have a fruitful interaction, with many applications to Physics and other sciences. Central objects of interest are homogeneous spaces and their symmetry groups. The geometric and analytic properties of homogeneous spaces relate to the structure and representation theory of the corresponding groups. The focus of this work is on certain representation theoretic phenomena related to equivariant embeddings of homogeneous spaces.
The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem, a milestone in Representation Theory and Geometry, provides realizations for every irreducible module of a semisimple complex Lie group as various cohomology spaces of homogeneous vector bundles on flag manifolds of the group. The purpose of this dissertation is to initiate a study of the behaviour of the Borel-Weil-Bott construction under pullbacks along equivariant embeddings of flag manifolds. These pullbacks provide certain geometric branching rules for representations. This is where the notion of a cohomological component arises from.
The central result of the dissertation is a criterion for nonvanishing of the pullback. The framework used for the formulation and proof of the result is Kostant's theory of Lie algebra cohomology. After the general criterion is established, various specializations and applications are presented: special classes of embeddings are considered, for which the criterion takes simpler forms; relations are established between pullbacks along embeddings of complete and partial flag manifolds; properties of the set of cohomological components are obtained; various examples are considered, the most interesting of which is related to the theory of invariants of semisimple Lie algebras.

▼ Let G be a finite group and F a field. The group algebra FG decomposes as a direct sum of two-sided ideals, called the blocks of FG. In this thesis the structure of the centre of a block for various groups is investigated. Studying these subalgebras yields information about the relationship between two block algebras and, in certain cases, forms a vital tool in establishing the non-existence of an important equivalence in the context of modular representation theory. In particular, the focus lies on determining the Loewy structure for the centre of a block, which so far has not been studied in detail but is fundamental in gaining a better understanding of the block itself. For finite groups G with non-abelian, trivial intersection Sylow p-subgroups, the analysis of the Loewy structure of the centre of a block allows us to deduce that a stable equivalence of Morita type does not induce an algebra isomorphism between the centre of the principal block of G and its Sylow normaliser. This was already known for the Suzuki groups; the techniques will be generalised to extend the result to cover the Ree groups of type 2G2(q).In addition, the three sporadic simple groups with the trivial intersection property, M11, McL and J4, together with some small projective special unitary groups are studied with respect to showing the non-existence of an isomorphism between the centre of the principal block and the centre of its Brauer correspondent. Finally, the Loewy structure of centres of various principal blocks are calculated. In particular, some small sporadic simple groups and groups with normal, elementary abelian Sylow p-subgroups are considered. For the latter, some specific formulae for the Loewy length are derived, which generalises recent results on groups with cyclic Sylow p-subgroups.

▼ The marked Brauer algebra is a generalization of the diagrammatic Brauer algebra which diagrammatizes Moon's centralizer algebra for the type \mathfrak{p} Lie superalgebra. We prove that the marked Brauer algebra is a standard based algebra in the sense of Du-Rui and determine the circumstances under which the algebra is quasi-hereditary. In particular, we observe that the category of modules for the marked Brauer algebra is a highest weight category. Standard modules are constructed and the simple modules are classified using the general framework of standard based algebras. We describe the induction and restriction of standard modules and study weights of these modules which arise from the action of a collection of Jucys-Murphy type elements in the marked Brauer algebra. Finally, we introduce arc diagrams for the marked Brauer algebra, which provide a combinatorial criterion for determining decomposition multiplicities of standard modules.

▼ This dissertation is comprised of three studies on how social capital and the representation of members of traditionally under-represented groups affect health inequality in the US. A consequence of racial and ethnic diversity in America has been increased social inequality. Social inequality in health exists along gender, race/ethnicity, and the intersection of the two. The goal of this dissertation is to offer insight on the factors that improve health outcomes and reduce health inequality. Motivated by the theory of representative bureaucracy, theories on legislative behavior, and public health research, I argue that (minority) female representation is critical to reducing health disparity.
In the first essay, "All Women Not Affected Equally: Social Capital and Minority Female Representation in American States", I study how various measures of social capital effect the emergence and political representation of women who belong to different racial/ethnic groups in 2012. The findings suggest that social capital is a form of "political" capital for women with differential effects on white women, black women, and Latinas. Sub-group social capital indexes reveal that social capital is a private good that unique effects in-group members. Aware of research that highlights additional "limits" to expected benefits of social capital and the importance of other representatives that can affect health, I examine how social capital shapes female representation more broadly. In the second chapter, "Occupational Hierarchy vs. Employment Sector: A Comparison of Social Capital Effects on Female Employment". By focusing on female employment in government and in health, my findings suggest social capital affects the sector women pursue careers in and promotes the representation of women in health. The third chapter, "What about Substantive Representation? The Effects of Female Bureaucratic Representation and Social Capital on US Inequality", ties the studies together. While all women benefit from high stocks of female social capital, only white women accrue the benefits associated with increased female bureaucratic representation. High stocks of social capital and female bureaucratic representation reduce disparity in infant mortality rates.

▼ In this dissertation, I resume the discussion of privative features as a notational device in segmental representation. I argue from both theoretical and empirical perspectives that element theory is a better theory of phonological representation than the binary-feature system. First, I argue that element theory is a more constrained and thus preferable theory since, with the proposal of single-valued features and a small element inventory, it is exempted from overgeneration of natural classes and phonological processes. Next, in case studies, I weigh the element-based representations of vowel shift, vowel harmony and consonantal lenition against the feature-based representations. The result of the evaluation shows that, compared to binary approaches, element theory is better in capturing the nature of various phonological processes. It generally provides non-arbitrary representations that can mirror how the processes occur, though it also has its limit in the characterization of Pasiego height harmony and consonantal affrication as well as providing a non-arbitrary account for occurrence of certain types of lenition in particular environments.
